Rib Warmer Vest

Notes

While I struggled (for many reasons, not just in the actual knitting) to work what’s now know as the 70+1 vest, I’ve always wanted to knit it for myself. My studio space can be chilly and I wanted something to toss on. I finally figured out the differences between the original and revisited pattern, and have a better grasp on reading garter stitch. So this was a quick and successful knit.

Best part of the project? I used up long lingering yarn from other projects, Veste (2008) & Mittens (2014).

I love it. Do I wish it was all one yarn? Yes! Am I wearing it now? Yes.

Weave in ends and wear. Very happy to figure out the pattern, knit it, and wear it.

3R grey to then purple to end. Carefully pick out the tab on first side, so it and first 3R will be purple and match other side.

Figured out where best to switch. Using twilight heather.

BO first side of RWV. Look for contrast yarns to help stretch the grey. Rib back so that fronts will be uniform grey.

Webinars mean lots of knitting time.

Suddenly I needed a vest. Something to toss on while at my desk. Primarily grey so it goes with everything. But where's the rest of the Mist? Did I actually donate that Veste since it was too short for my torso?
